12-3.006Designation of Official Reporter to Publish and Index Subject Matter Relating to Agency Orders
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: Subsection (3) of Rule 12-2.022(3), F.A.C. (Public Inspection and Copying), designates the Florida Administrative Law Reporter as the Department’s official reporter for final orders, except for child support enforcement. The purpose of the proposed repeal of Rule 12-3.006, F.A.C. (Designation of Official Reporter to Publish and Index Subject Matter Relating to Agency Orders), which also designates the official reporter of the Department for its final orders, is to remove this rule that is redundant of subsection 12-2.022(3), F.A.C.
SUMMARY: The proposed repeal of Rule 12-3.006, F.A.C. (Designation of Official Reporter to Publish and Index Subject Matter Relating to Agency Orders), removes provisions regarding the Department’s official reporter for final orders that are redundant of subsection 12-2.022(3), F.A.C.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:
The Agency has determined that this will not have an adverse impact on small business or likely increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the implementation of the rule. A SERC has not been prepared by the agency.
The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein: 1) no requirement for the Statement of Economic Regulatory Costs (SERC) was triggered under Section 120.541(1), F.S.; and 2) based on past experiences with activities for designating official reporters for agency orders and rules of this nature, the adverse impact or regulatory cost, if any, do not exceed nor would exceed any one of the economic analysis criteria in a SERC, as set forth in Section 120.541(2)(a), F.S.
Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
